  • Comparison of Renewable Energy Sources in ‘New’ EU Member States in the Context of National Energy Transformations

    Publication

    - ENERGIES - Year 2021

    The European Union strives to create sustainable, low-carbon economies; therefore, energy policies of all member states should move towards renewable energy sources (RES). That concerns also the so-called new EU member states. These countries, on the one hand, are characterized by significant historical similarities in terms of post-communist legacy and adopted development strategies linked with the EU membership, and on the other...
